The Math Of Effort and Achievement

[SlipknotiCX]

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:


If: A B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%


AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

lol, nice slip.

[xyxaxyz2]

Yep. :cool:

Its not anything profound. This thread is just sort of stupid. :cool:

[theburning]

Well. First of all there are 2 mistakes in xyxaxyz2's post.
1) He put '24' for y.
2) Made an addition error.

The secret message is:
Just doing better than everyone else

Which is actually:
10+21+19+20+4+15+9+14+7+2+5+20+20+5+18+20+8+1+14+5 +22+5+18+25+15+14+5+5+12+19+5=382%

:cool:

[Megabyte]

Megabyte = 77% (all the effort you foo's are worth)

But when I go to the Trout to slap you ppl with...I hit 94% ;)

[Duffman]

24+25+24+1+24+25+26+2 = 151% :rolleyes:

[T3km4n]

I can tell from the first two letters that that is xyxaxyz2.

[Bottle]

I'm a measly 74%. :(

[Elentari]

My real name brings me to 109%... woot.

Elentari = 5 + 12 + 5 + 14 + 20 + 1 + 18 + 9 = 84%

[ArcPaladinZero]

I'm sure my name makes me well over 100% so I'll just do APZ.

1+16+26= 43%

[T3km4n]

I am sure my name falls well short of 100%.

[theburning]

theburning: 118%
Juliette: 102%
Full real name: 250%

[abyaly]

My full name beats yours, julia :D
1 + 12 +5 + 24 + 1 + 14 + 4 + 5 + 18 +12 + 5 + 15 + 14 + 9 + 4 + 15 + 22 + 9 + 3 + 8 + 2 + 25 + 1 + 12 + 25 = 265%
Just curious.. who here beats that? I know I can't have the longest full name here. Some of you must have multiple middle names.

[theburning]

I have 2 middle names!
I wish they were longer now. :(

My last name is pretty long though!

[abyaly]

We russians have the advantage! We get the patronemic added to our names :cool:

[kyrios24]

Yeah... I started doing this in 3rd grade, when I visited the lower math class for a day and there was an assignment to find sums of various words, largest values we could think of for given word lengths, smallest values for the same, 100-point words (my favorite), and some other stuff. I pretty much got hooked on it... started doing that to every reasonable word I saw, trying it for 100. Never got attitude though, I don't think. Well! Maybe I should type a realllllllly long message here... I can read those numbers off almost fluently. *sigh* (such a nerd...)

9 + 12 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 7 +12 + 1 + 13 + 19 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 13 + 21 + 3 + 8 + 25 + 15 + 21 + 8 + 1 + 22 + 5 + 14 + 15 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 13 + 3 + 18 + 1 + 26 + 25 + 1 + 2 + 15 + 21 + 20 + 8 + 5 + 18! = 610. 'Bout a minute straight typing, a minute of mental math... yay! Go me. (Could somebody check that on a calculator? Thanks.)

whoa i got that email with that too but i was never that serious about figureing out that stuff. im to lazy could someone find my name for me

So you feel it's a waste of your time ... but you think someone else should waste their own time for you?!?! :rolleyes:

[Jeffery]

Woot! I am 57%, half of which is from the Y at the end.

of coarse cant you see my logic!!!

[psychofireman]

lets see 16+19+25+3+8+15+6+9+13+1+14=10% ......yeah thats about the effort i put into this

this seems to be the amount of effort that all government employees put in...the only exception that I can think of would be our military, which busts their balls everyday...

[psychofireman]

that is too true. when i was in the military i found it sicking how people took us for granted.... ok i will end here
